Victoria Falls!






Hi everyone,

I'm in an internet cafe in Chobe, Botswana, right now but will try to catch up on Victoria Falls, Zambia, first. After almost 19 hours in a van and some hassles at the border my group arrived in Livingstone, Zambia, at a very nice hostel called Jollyboys. The following morning we woke up early to head out to Victoria Falls.

In a word, Victoria Falls is heavenly. The enormous flow of water rushing over cliffs creates a swirling spray that rises above the falls themselves. With the help of a light wind, the spray and mist clear for views of the majestic falls bordered in a white haze. And because of the mix of mist and sunlight, rainbows abound.

When will I ever again have a chance to bungee jump off of a natural wonder of the world?

Awesome, Gab. I loved how you wrote about the mist and haze and how rainbows "abound". You're so naturally descriptive. Love, Mom
